Uh, excuse me, but what is a "single mother"? I believe in the old days (before political correctness was enshrined by Liberals) that less-flattering terms were used to describe out-of-wedlock mothers.

What term would you prefer the newspaper use? Besides, what if the mother was widowed? Or if her husband left her due to no fault of her own? The article mentioned, by the way, that she was divorced, so the child was not born out of wedlock... There are lots of things to complain about in the MSM, but I don't see the term "single mother" as anything but descriptive.
